A lot of people can find themselves in a very difficult situation simply because they made some financial mistakes in the past. A lot of prime financial institutions require you to have high credit score and spotless credit file to be eligible for low interest lines of credit or even for a credit card. But what about consumers that made bad financial decisions, overextended their ability to pay back their creditors and had to file for bankruptcy? Even if you had to go through credit counselling services and paid back your debts, but did not fulfill your contractual obligations with your creditors, you credit worthiness is ruined.If you’ve gone through a bankruptcy and credit counselling program, you will have to rebuild your credit before any kind of credit will be extended to you. Rebuilding your credit can be a lengthy process and requires time and patience. First thing that you should do is to obtain your credit file from main credit reporting agencies. There are two main credit reporting agencies which are: Equifax and Trans Union. Obtaining your credit report is not a very difficult procedure and can be done instantly online for a fee between $15-$40 dollars or free of charge by mail. In order to obtain you credit report by mail you will need to fill out an application form (that can be downloaded from transunion.ca and equfax.com) and attach 2 pieces of id and a utility bill. You can either mail or fax your application to credit bureaus. It usually takes 7-10 business days to receive a copy of your credit file by mail. Once you get a copy of your credit file you should look for any discrepancies. If you declared bankruptcy and were discharged, all former creditors have to stop reporting to the credit bureaus after the discharge date.The same should happen to any collection items if any have been reported on your credit file. If you find any discrepancies you can download and fill out a dispute form from transunion.ca and equifax.com and submit it to the credit bureaus. Credit bureaus have to investigate your dispute and make appropriate corrections in your credit profile. Once all the discrepancies are eliminated, you will have to wait some time before all previous activity is removed from your credit file so you can start rebuilding your credit from scratch. If you went through a credit counselling program, it will take about 4 years after your program is completed for all the R7 accounts to be removed from your file. If you filed for bankruptcy it might take up to 10 years for the bankruptcy to be dropped from your credit file.Once your bankruptcy has been discharged you should get a secured credit card and make your monthly payments on time. After a year or two you bank might release you security deposit. However for the next 7-10 years you will not qualify for car loans, mortgages or lines of credit with prime financial institutions and will have to use services of subprime lenders. If you need quick cash advance (up to $1000) to pay an unexpected expense you can apply for a Payday loans are short term loans that are available to consumers in cases of emergency and at times when there are no other financial options available. Those type of lenders have high interest rates but if you do not have perfect credit rating you can still qualify for a loan with them. Some subprime lender report your timely loan payments to Credit Bureaus and some not (payday loans companies do not usually report to credit bureaus). You should double check with lenders before you apply for a loan. It is better to get financing trough a lender that will report your timely payments to the Credit Bureau as it will positively impact your credit score. Do not apply for a loan with numerous institutions at the same time. Numerous inquiries on your credit file will alert lenders and will lower you credit rating even more. Everything has a price and you will be paying for your past mistakes by having to pay high interest rates.
